One of things I've been trying to put together in my spare time is a home media center.  I got an XBOX 360 and using that as my Media Center Extender my goal is to stream backups of my DVDs that I ripped to my PC that is running Windows Media Center.  Unfortunately I haven't been able to come up with a solution that I find acceptable.  I attempted to use Transcode360 to stream VIDEO_TS but it doesn't appear to even see the files on my machine.  I then converted my VIDEO_TS files to WMV and while I can stream that, losing FF/RW is unacceptable. (Side note: Maybe FF/RW works with WMV but trying to use the XBOX controller as a remote is painful.  I should probably pickup a real remote for it.  That will go on my list of things to buy.) 

 

Does anybody out there have any suggestions as to what I can do to realize my dream of a DVD jukebox?  I haven't attempted straight-up MPEG-2 yet, but that is my next step.  Any help would be appreciated!
